I am still recovering from the excitement of Saturday, May 24th. It was the wedding of our son, David and his lovely wife, Saerom Yoo. The entire wedding celebration was held at the church and the manse, so we were busy for weeks cleaning and preparing. Then family started to arrive, including my 84 year old father from Edmonton, Canada. Finally the big day was here. The kids started with pictures in Central Park and then a beautiful limo brought them to Mount Kisco about 1pm. After a light lunch on the upper patio of the church we went over to the gazebo on the property of Gov. Cuomo and Sandra Lee. The Gov. had graciously given us permission to take pictures with the beautiful lake and landscaping as a background.
Then it was show time. the ceremony was the most beautiful I have ever seen, with David and his friends playing one of Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances" on their instruments as Saerom came down the aisle with her father. It was quite a moment.
There were two receptions. One was on our portico with hor d'oeuvres and music. The highlight of that event was David and Saerom coming around the front of the church on their scooters. The dinner reception was in our Great Hall, which never looked better. The food was excellent, music continued from the mezzanine and the couple was toasted into their married life in English and Korean.
Elisabeth and I are so proud and pleased with how things turned out. We are grateful to the entire PCMK community for helping us pull this off. We are especially grateful to Kelly Marlow who was our wedding coordinator extraordinaire; Love Wooten who prepared stunningly beautiful flowers; and Terry Flanagan who provided wonderful organ music. Others helped with food service and clean up. It was a wonderful family event that we will never forget.
See you in church,
Pastor Dale
